Question: Exercise 1 0 - 1 6 ( Algo ) Overhead Performance Report with Both Spending and Efficiency Variances [ LO 4 , LO 7 ]

Exercise 10-16(Algo) Overhead Performance Report with Both Spending and Efficiency Variances [LO4, LO7]
The cheque-clearing office of Pay Loans Company is responsible for processing all cheques that come to the company for payment. Managers at the company believe that variable overhead costs are essentially proportional to the number of labour-hours worked in the office, so labour-hours are used as the activity base when preparing variable overhead budgets and performance reports. Data for October, the most recent month, appear below:
Budgeted labour-hours1,310Actual labour-hours1,290Standard labour-hours allowed for the actual number of cheques processed1,330

Fixed overhead at Pay Loans Company consists entirely of supervisory salaries and is applied at a rate of $4 per direct labour-hour. Actual fixed overhead costs totalled $4,200 in October, while the flexible budget was $4,000 for the month.
Required:
Prepare an overhead performance report for October for the cheque-clearing office that includes both spending and efficiency variances for variable overhead and the budget variance for fixed overhead.
Note: Input all amounts as positive values. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).
I have filled this out as best I can from a prior expert answering this question, but there are still gaps in the chart as that expert did not answer those parts. Would I be able to have clarification on the missing spots? Total variance, spreading (budget) variance and efficiency variance still wants it listed if it is unfavourable, favourable or none. I also need the Supervisory salaries row.
Thank you so much.
